Hello,
I have had a boom strike on my Raptor 50 and need new blades and boom.
Should I consider fitting the extended boom from a Titan, and what would the Pros and cons be?

Pros - Ready for 620mm blades if desired.

Cons - Boom cost, you will also need a new belt.

If you have no desire to switch to 620mm blades, stay with the standard boom. Unless you also broke your blet in the boom strike, then it's a flip of the coin pretty much.

You need a boom, belt, and rudder pushrod.

Yep, I forgot the rudder push rod, I boom mount my tail servo, so just had to slide it back a bit further.

I switched to a titan boom but kept the 600 mains. I went to 95mm tails and found the tail to hold much better than witht the 85's.

I too went to the titan boom, with 600mains, and 95's on the tail, but I was running 92's on the tail prior to the change, and have not noticed any gains in tail holding.
